1890 this morning the schooner, A. w.
Thompson from Bridgeport, Connect
cut bound to East New York mines
with cargo, while lacking in the
sound off WiIlet's point was run into
by the steamer Idlewild. bound for
New York. The schooner sunk imme-
diately. Two, and probably three of
her crew being drowned. Another,
supposed to be the captain, was picked
up by an Idlewild boat and taken to
New York. His head is split open
and he will probably die.
The names of the schO0ner's crew could
not be ascertained. An eyewitness
on the shore saw the schooner
tack directly in front of the Idlewild' IS
bow, which struck her Immediately af-
forwards and there appeared to be
great excitement among the steamers

PHILADELPHIA, March l6.-President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company, this afternoon made public
the following official action taken by
the board of directors of the company
at a meeting held on the 9th inst, in re-
gard to the issue of passes: This COM
pany having been advised by the Gener-
al Solicitor, that the act of Congress,
known as the Interstate Commerce
Law is intended to prohibit the use of
Interstate passes, except by
officers and employees of railroad
companies. The Presidents therefore
directed to issue to the proper officers
of the lines embraced in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system the necessary
instructions to carry this prohibition
into effect on the LIST of April next. He
also instructed the proper officers OF
the railway bridge companies embraced
in the Pennsylvania Railroad system
that on and after April 1st, 1887 they
shall not issue any passes for the free
transportation of persons on special
cars from one State to another, or into
the District of Columbia except fol
officers or employees of railway com
panieS.

fracture, or it would have broken apart
long since. The second hanger was
checked across, half its inside face COW
cred by supposed weld, for about half
its depth Of the effective section, and
this was clearly where the fracture first
began. 1t caused secondary
break in the hook of the
welded end, which cut on q somewhat
larger proportion Of effective strength
OF the iron. All this Is clearly shown
In engravings Of the bridge and its
broken parts which appear IN this issue

hardly exist.
BosToN, March 16.-The Railroad
commissioners continued their investi-
cation into the causes Of the Forest
HUI accident today. George Richards,
Master Mechanic Of the Boston & Prov
idence Railroad, testified that the tele-
scoping Of the cars seemed to indicate
that there must have been q break In
some part of the train. Witness

the iron except one in one Of the bear
ing plates. The plate was T shaped

It OF no Importance. It was broken
out Of some column or portion of the
bridge, but he did not know from
which part. Witness was out
there yesterday and examined all the
pieces, but could find nothing more
than few imperfections on the weld
ings. It was very rare to find really

q serious accident, for one OF the worst
accidents in this state was caused In
that way. The breaking in that jour
nal might have caused a severe shock
to the bridge. The telescoping of the
cars would indicate that the accident
first occurred to the train and not
to the bridge and the bridge went
down as q result of the train accident.

this morning, at the hands of his best
and most esteemed friend. Ut. Wicher,
formerly conductor on the Chesapeake

friend John Trumbo, and playfully re-
marked:

fore you could draw your pistol to save

"Well,'' said Trumbo, ''I will Just

Thus saying, he pulled his pistol,

BUSINESS UNSETTLED.
The Interstate Law Has q DepresaII
EKeet Upon Business Generally.

AAAG AuBcFSt26S Law kE0S q Depressing
Effect Upon Business Generally.
New YORK, March 1S.-R. G.. Dun
& Co., in their weekly trade review,
say: 1t is becoming more generally
realized that the Interstate Commerce
Bill is for the time affecting business
unfavorably in some branches, as in
the movement of dry goods to the West.
A temporary furry of greater activity
results from a desire to transport before
the coming change in rates but in other
trades the uncertainty as to the future
rates produces almost a paralysis,
which is rendered more serious in the
iron business by the question whether
railway building and repairing may
not be checked. Many vaguely look
for better understanding of the act
when the commissioners are announc-
ed but the commissioners will have to
await the decision of the court before
they can know what powers they have.
Hence it can hardly be hoped that I'M
certainty regarding the effects of the
act will be soon removed. Probably
the great Baltimore & Ohio negotia-
tions, which cause hesitation in the
stock market, results from the passage
of this act. Mr.. Sully does not seem
to have succeeded, but it is generally
believed that some important CONSOLE
dation of interests may be effected
which may have an important influence
on the future value of securities.

Concerning Passes.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 1.-THE
Western Association of Passenger
Agents has the following to say in re-
gard to passes
Theatrical managers and assistants
now have trip and passes when they
ask for them. City officials have annu-
ais for themselves and trip franks for
their friends. An idea of the number
of passes issued to the constituents of
members of the Legislature can be had
by the fact that 800 passes on the Lake
Shore & Western road were issued in
one day during the present session
on the recommendation of Assem-
blymen and Senators. Seven men are
constantly employed in Madison in is
suing railroad passes. Asked if there
would be any change in the number of
trains run, a manager said today it was
certain there would be no increase and
probably decrease in the number.
He said that the plan to reduce rates
had been abandoned, and that there
would be no reduction in passenger
rates at present. In view of the posi-
bic objection of holders of annual
passes to surrender the same on de-
mand, conductors will be provided with
receipts to exchange for passes, which
requests the recipient to call upon the
officer who provided him with the pass,
aud guaranteeing settlement of any
fair claim he may make. In case of
an action for damages resulting from
the expulsion from train of the holder
of an annual pass, the case will be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court, should a verdict be rendered
against the company, to ascertain if
railroad company would be sustained
in q refusal to become party to a vio-
lation of the commerce law

Firing Tarim,

CHICAGO, March 16.-The represen-
tatives of the Trans-C Continental railway
lines today finished their tariff labors
having arranged one tariff based on a
strict Interpretation of the new Cullom-
Reagan law and another tariff designed
to meet the Canadian Pacific and water
competition. The first will be put in
effect at once. 1t advances the present
through rates so per cent. The attor-
neys of the several railroads are in
structed to present the other tariff to
the Federal Commissioners when APP
pointed and ask that the Trans Cont
mental roads be allowed to adopt it, the
claim being made that the tariff strictly
complying with the law will drive the
railroads out of the through business.

r NEW YORK, March 1s.-The World
says: There is every reason to believe
that Henry Grady of the Atlanta Con-
stitution has access to authoritative in
formation as to the arrangement in
regard to the sale of the Baltimore s.

road friends in New York. and the fol-
lowing statement sent by New York
correspondent to tbs Constitution is
based on exact facts: The dickering is
done; the squabble is over and the Bal
timore s. Ohio deal is closed. This is
not mere rumor, but an actual fact.
The trade has been positively effected
and Mr.. Garrett has decided a control

erty to newcomers. Who the purchas-
ers are is yet held in profound
secrecy, but some names that have been
prominently connected with recent ne
gotiations are not down on the list
Mr.. Sully has nothing to do with the
purchase and does not, probably, ever
know of it as yet. Neither has Mr.
Gould any interest in the trade. nor il

PLEA FROM THE W. C. II. U.

Circular from the National Union 20
Brewers, DIstflleFB ana Wholesale
Liquor Dealers.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
issued an address to-day to the brewers,
distillers, rectifers, wholesale dealers
and saloon keepers. The address is in
accordance with resolution adopted
at the annual convention held in Min
neapolis last October. The address is
in the form of plea and the people to
whom it is directed are addressed at
the opening as brothers. - The adj
dress says: 'sIn our great and success
full campaigns for prohibition, for none
of them have failed since even in Ohio,
though we have not a constitutional
majority we had over BOG, 900 votes for
prohibition to less than 100, 900
for license and in Kansas, Iowa,
NJ inc and Rhode Island we gained the
amendmentl in all these campaigns, we
appeal to you to say if we have ever
manifested spirit of harshneSs or
bravadO. On the contrary we have
spoken considerably of you as men, re-
serving our denunciationS for the bust
ness in which you are engaged, for the
laws by which legal status is accord
ed to that business, for the legislatures
which enact such laws, and the voters
who are the power behind this throne
of iniquity and shame"
The address declares that many of
the men engaged in the liquor traffic
are possessed of the most generous at
tributes, but among them are to be
found some of the most unfortunate
victims Of drink. The address then
proceeds to discuss the question as
TO whether prohibition does not pro-
hibit, and declares that experience
proves that it does not prohibit in all
practical senses, and that this fact is
realized and acknowledged by the man
ufacturers. 1t quotes from the reSo-
buttons passed by the liquor men in
favor of the license, and says their en-
dorsement of the license condemns the
system. The address finally says:
I'VE have here addressed the manu-
facturer and wholesale dealer as well as
the dispenser of strong drinks, because
We think an undue share of denuncia-
ton has fallen on the saloon
keeper, who is but the
catspaw to rake out of the
fire the chestnuts of the rich men back
of him. Our observation teaches us
that the stock and fixtures of the saloon
usually belong to the brewer, distiller
or wholesale dealer, who sets up some
man, ignorant and poor, who sells what
the capitalist furnishes. Morally, this
rich man is under deeper condemnation
than his less lightened representative
who pOurs out the drink, collects the
price thereof and hands over the lions
share of profit to the manufacturer and
the Government -
